Raiders
L 17-45 at Patriots · Oct 11, 2026
Misery Index · Miserable
Raiders fans blaming the refs, McDaniels, and themselves for making McDaniels look like a genius in a 45-17 loss.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Maye carved up the secondary before halftime was a thought, hitting D.Douglas for a 35-yard score and finding H.Henry at the 1 to set the tone early. A B.Bowers touchdown from K.Cousins briefly suggested a pulse, then a T.Tucker run for -11 yards and a laundry-filled afternoon snuffed it out. Fans spent the second half arguing with the refs instead of the scoreboard, which tracks when a 28-point loss stops feeling like a game and starts feeling like a diagnosis.
